Exciting News from the AL Central!

Imagine my surprise when I cam across this bombshell: Graham Koonce was signed by the Kansas City Royals to a minor league contract! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Here're the juicy details: Koonce was happily mashing away in the Brewers system last year, batting .256 with 19 home runs in 88 games in AAA Nashville. And ladies: he's a lefty first baseman! Kansas City caught wind of this guy's talents and began salivating over the possibility of beefing up their lineup.

Of course, we all remember Graham's contributions while he was in Oakland for 6 games in '03. Who can forget how he went 1-8 with a double? Nice work, big guy! That's the kind of performance we expect to see from a 60th round Detroit Tigers draft pick (1993)!
